A federal judge has ruled that the Department of Justice cannot obtain the names and personal contact information for every individual who worked during the 2020 election in Georgia’s Fulton County. The decision, handed down on Tuesday, blocks a grand jury subpoena issued by the Justice Department in April.
The subpoena had sought the personal details of county employees and volunteer poll workers. This request came amid persistent, unsubstantiated claims by Donald Trump of widespread voter fraud in Fulton County, a Democratic stronghold, which he alleges cost him victory in the state in 2020.
